In the second panel I think that “andauthoritarism” should be two words.

And in the last panel I think that “bombs” should be “drones”. But that’s not a typo, that’s just what they use these days. 😉

Fixed. Yeah, I thought about that line. But I came to the conclusion, like bullets, bombs are just ammo. And just like the bullets in this war, there will probably be a shortage because they are shooting so many.

  You know, on second thought I think that “authoritarism” should be “authoritarianism”. That would explain why my spellchecker redlines the former. (Though I don’t trust my spellchecker 100% because it redlines “spellchecker”. That’s why I let that one by the first time.)

    Weird. I got that from the article I read. Two ways of spelling perhaps?

      I just did a Googlefight between the two, and with 361 000 vs 1630 I would bet that the article just had it spelled wrong. It happens.
